I called Jerry Gould on a Friday and he responded to my call that evening. He came to the house the next day and we discussed what we would like done. His estimate was reasonable. Originally, the estimate only addressed having one tree taken down and another one was just going to be trimmed back from a neighbor's house. He called a couple weeks after giving the estimate (waiting for dry weather) and arranged a time to do the work. When Jerry arrived,, I asked if he could take down the other tree rather than just trim it. It was no problem. While working, he also noticed that our maple tree was growing into our pine tree, and did some trimming on that tree also. The job went well, and they did a good job of cleaning up afterward. His 30 plus years of experience really shows in the work he does.
Jerry was professional and personable. His prices were reasonable. I will definite call him in the future for my tree trimming needs, and I will recommend him to others.
Since my only time requirement was to have the trees trimmed before winter and since it was a rather small job, we agreed that it would be a pretty open schedule. In early October we had a big wind storm in our area. The top of one our other trees snapped off and was just hanging. I called Jerry and explained the situation. He stopped by that day or the next to take a look at it. We agreed on the additional cost (it was small and reasonable). Jerry called a couple days later and took care of all the trees.
The crew was friendly and professional. The did the work and cleaned up afterwards. The only downside was that it rained the entire weekend before, so the ground in my yard was very soft. The crew did the best they could to minimize any marks on the yard, but given how soft it was, some marks were made. It's now two weeks later and those marks are barely noticeable. If you didn't know they were there, you wouldn't see them.
Overall, I'm very satisfied and will be using their service again.
After a month had passed, I had begun to think that we had fallen off Jerry's radar. I was about to call him to get us scheduled when he called me and set the date for removal.
The team showed up when they said they would and studied the layout prior to beginning work. They took precautions needed so as not to damage my irrigation system as well as my neighbors.
The tree was close to the back of the house - within 8 feet - and very tight to to a retaining wall (inches away) . There was also a very narrow alley onto which they could drop branches without damaging other trees or personal property.
They took the tree down without incident and when they left there was little sign left anywhere that a large oak tree had be cut up and hauled away.
I recommend Gould's Tree Service to anyone. No hesitation.
